Hi everyone!
Well, I needed more space to hang necklaces so, I decided to make up a wall hanging necklace holder. Like everything else, if I can’t see it, I don’t use it. So, when I have necklaces tucked away in a jewelry box, I have a tendency to forget about them.
I started out with a thrifted picture. I removed the backing, picture and glass. I spray painted the frame pink. I knew I would have to do a couple of coats but, after seeing the light pink with the wood grain popping through, I decided I liked that look and didn’t spray any more coats.
I covered the picture with this pretty pink toile fabric and stuck it back into the frame.
Not really pretty from the back!
So, I cut a piece of poster board to fit the back and glued it on.
Then I just took some grosgrain ribbon and glued it around the edge of the poster board and frame.
I had these little pink chipboard pieces in my scrapbook supplies and decided to glue them onto the glass.
I swear I ironed this piece of fabric several times! Grrr. Oh well.
Next I grabbed a bag of unfinished wood knobs and some pink paint.
I glued the knobs onto each of the chipboard pieces and then just because I have a ton of white buttons, I glued a little button to each knob.
I nailed the little hanging thingy back onto the back part of the frame and then just hung it up.
Just a little shabbiness.

Great job finishing off the back, that looks a lot better!
ReplyDeleteDiann, this is a very pretty (useful) project. Did you put the glass back in? It seems like there is a reflection. Just wondering.

Cute project Diann, I love the toile! We don't have Kroger in Philly, so I'll just wish everyone good luck:@)
ReplyDeleteWhat a clever idea Diann.
ReplyDeleteIt turned out really cute.
Have a great weekend.
This is cute Diann! Love being able to see my jewelry. Of course it's PINK so I love that part the best.

Brilliant idea! I'm loving the pink color too.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute project!!!
ReplyDeleteIt looks adorable! I love the pink toile! I think everyone needs one of these!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea, I know what you mean about having them where you can see them. I have a rail inside my wardrobe for mine to hang on, practical but not as pretty as your idea. I must look out for an old frame now!
ReplyDeleteI love it! what a great idea, esp the pink toile!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great project. It's a very nice way to keep necklaces, especially the longer ones, out where you can easily see them and grab them to wear!
ReplyDeleteToo cute!

ReplyDeleteI'm the same way, if I don't see it. . . I forget I have it.
